Will The Bulls Dominate After US PCE Inflation Release?

The current dip appears to be due to the investors staying on the sideline ahead of the crucial US PCE inflation release, scheduled for later today. Having said that, if the US PCE inflation comes in tandem with the market expectations, it could significantly boost the market sentiment.

Notably, the declining inflationary pressure could help the US Fed to move with a dovish policy rate plan. Usually, the lower rates help boost the traders’ confidence, which in turn could drive the Bitcoin price higher.

Meanwhile, analyst Javon Marks also shared a bullish forecast recently. In a recent X post, Marks highlighted BTC’s previous surge from $19K to $67,543. Comparing that with the current level, the expert predicted that BTC could hit between $116,600 and $118,800 if the history repeats.

Besides, a flurry of other experts also anticipates a potential BTC breakout to a new ATH ahead. For context, Michael van de Poppe in a recent X post said that Bitcoin’s “Drops getting absorbed quickly and buying pressure is building up.”

Considering that, he hinted towards a strong run for the flagship crypto in Q2. However, some have argued that for the bullish momentum to continue, the Bitcoin price must breach the crucial $90K support ahead.
